Equipment for manufacturing vegetable oil products is purchased from alfa. items such as oil expellers, filter presses, and a steam generator are purchased for $1,000,000. these devices are expected to be used for 11 years with no salvage value at that time. compare macrs to traditional depreciation methods by calculating yearly depreciation allowances, present worth of the depreciation allowances, and book value for each year using each of the following (marr is 9%):
a. macrs-gds as is proper over its property class depreciation life.
b. 200% dbh with deductions in years 1 through 11.
c. ddb taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 10.
d. ddb switching to straight line, taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 10.
e. sln taking a full deduction in the 1st year, with the last deduction in year 10.
f. slh with deductions in years 1 through 11.
g. syd with the last deduction in year 10.

Many potential buyers value high-quality used cars at the full-information market price of € p1 and lemons at € p2. a limited number of potential sellers value high-quality cars at € v1 ≤ p1 and lemons at € v2 ≤ p2. everyone is risk neutral. the share of lemons among all the used cars that might be potentially sold is € θ . suppose that the buyers incur a transaction cost of $200 to purchase a car. this transaction cost is the value of their time to find a car. what is the equilibrium? is it possible that no cars are sold

Assume that (i) setups need to be completed first; (ii) a setup can only start once the batch has arrived at the resource, and (iii) all flow units of a batch need to be processed at a resource before any of the units of the batch can be moved to the next resource. process step 1 molding 2 painting 3 dressing setup time 15 min. 30 min. no setup processing time 0.25 min./unit 0.15 min./unit 0.30 min./unit which batch size would minimize inventory without decreasing the process capacity?

6. why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run in the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. several theories explain how this might happen. for example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. if the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by the quantity of soybeans supplied. if other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to the natural level of output in the short run.
